[73.04] Dense Matter in the Crust of Neutron Stars

C. C. Yao, K. S. Cheng (HKU)

With the relativistic extended Thomas-Fermi method,
we study the dense matter in the inner crust of neutron stars
based on the Zimanyi amp; Moszkowski (1990, ZM) model in the
relativistic mean field theory. We also compare these results
with those based on the Boguta amp; Bodmer (1977, BB) model
with a resent satisfactory parameter set.
